Poochtini Gal: Abigail is Stylin'

Well, it's wet outside and Abigail has decided to strut her stuff. Do you get the idea that she thinks she is all that in her poochtini coat?

The storms are coming in.

The wet murkiness is outside and I spent 20 minutes on mats with Abigail last night due to her laying in wet so no more. I spent even more on Fiona. Puppy blowing coat time and wet does NOT match.

She will be stylin' in her coat and saving me MUCH time - for sure! Abs has a brown one - goes poi-fectly with her hair and Fiona has a black one. Kat has a black one and so does Wasabi. We are waiting for an x-large to come in for Risa and then we will do a Shoshi one too. Shoshi still has a less coverage coat from next year and is matting too so a poochtini coat will be coming for her as well.

And - when we get Treasure - our newest addition - we will post photos of her as well. Her Auntie Linda gave her an amazing fisherman sweater and blanket. Linda is one of the very few people we would trust for boarding that is in the city per se. She only takes one dog at a time but she gives quality care, lots of love and attention like we do. So, if we are booked or just think we are too dawg crazy for you - well get in touch with us. We will point you to her.

Well, today is a bathe Wasabi and Risa day as they are going to the vet tomorrow. Late in the day we find out if Wasabi is pregnant and Risa how we can melt the pounds off of her. Since she has been spade - I think she has been working the house. We have her on a diet and she's eating everything but the floor. Poor gal. But we want her to live a long life so we are in pursuit of peeling it off. Ahem...this human needs to do the same. Always bloody something. Who likes diets - marathon exercises - not I but with less weight you certainly feel better after the stomach shrinks but its getting there that's hell. Me thinks that's Risa's issue - but mommy can you see my tongue going in and out. You are NOT feeding me enough.

Okay - enough of that. If Risa has to put up with it - so am I. This is the 1st day of many days of diets. Exercise to come today too. What are you willing to do to get in shape for summer? It's coming faster than you think - I hope.
